    It still works!

    The problem is that there are FOUR cables on the back of the thing, and if you want full functionality you'll have to plug them all in.
    There is even one that needs to be redirected to a USB 3 connector on the back of the PC so it loops around outside!
    A real suicide in an impeccably organised transparent case.
    Furthermore, and this is more serious, the pins on the memory cards seem very fragile to me,
    I probably made the wrong choice among the many products available.

    practice

    very practical card connector, no need to look for good qualities, too bad it doesn't come in white

    Bof....

    I had the previous model (AKASA HC-05BKV2) from the same manufacturer but it is not recognised by W10 following a migration from W7.
    So I chose this model, after a discussion with the LDLC pre-sales technical support (very good!).
    But disappointment!!!
    The reader reads USB 3 keys randomly on one of the 2 ports (reboot required), reading SD cards seems slow.
    Only good thing is the USB 2 ports
    In short, not really satisfied...
